New Leeds co-owner Andrea Radrizzani keen to buy back Elland Road

Leeds’ new joint-owner Andrea Radrizzani has made it one of his top priorities to buy back Elland Road.

The Italian businessman, who co-founded sports media rights company MP & Silva, this month acquired a 50 per cent stake in the club from compatriot Massimo Cellino through his company, Aser Group Holding.

Radrizzani was coy on a reported agreement to buy out Cellino’s remaining holding in the summer but did reveal his intention to purchase and improve the club’s stadium, which is owned by Manchester businessman Jacob Adler.
